An introduction through my photo lens

in #introduceyourself8 years ago

Hello everyone,

I'm not exactly sure how I should go about introducing myself, but I thought it's worth a shot to do so with the help of my photography, which I'll be uploading with (hopefully) some regularity.

Some background info:

Born and raised in Poland.

Not a photo by me, but one of my favourites of me.

Currently living in Toronto, Canada.

I don't necessarily follow a style, nor do I adhere too much to established rules of photography. I prefer to photograph objects that don't usually get much attention, can somehow tell a story, or possibly play subtle tricks on the perception of the viewer. Sometimes they're inspired purely by aesthetics, sometimes by emotion, and once in a while by altered states.

Here are a few examples of what I like to do:

Pretty cool...umm...glowing telephone cord?

Sometimes people are a bit surprised to learn that this is the filament inside of a light bulb

FIsh on a wall?

Almost -- fish magnet on a fridge. It seems silly, but I enjoy proving people wrong when they're convinced they're right.

At times I like to play on grander scales.

It's just an airplane, but those clouds create a rather epic effect imo.

I like the 3D effect; the hidden treasure, diamonds, throne, and camera. The bland background and shiny foreground. The odd batman shape, and the scratch marks left by me...

...but as a lifelong gambler, sometimes a photo means a lot more to me on a personal level.

I guess this is it for now. Please feel free to comment and critique-- I appreciate all opinions and honesty. Hopefully some of you enjoy these enough to want to see more and might take a small gamble by hitting the follow button.

I look forward to checking out your profiles fellow Steemers! Super excited to be joining this community.

Welcome aboard @zia! Like your photos. You should do well here. Photography is one (if not THE) hottest topics going. Keep on posting & earn while you do!

Thanks longshot! I look forward to checking out what you're up to.

x-photog myself, but my cameras only shoot film, their lenses need cleaning, and my eyesight ain't 20/20 anymore! Screentime will do that to ya!

It's never too late to get back in. 20/20 eyesight is overrated anyway hehe. Yeah, as someone who is constantly battling watery itchy eyes, I 100% agree about the screen time.

I could make a career outta abstracts. Kinda the way things look without my glasses!
